President Donald Trump said in an interview Wednesday that he will seek drug tests for both he and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden ahead of their first debate next month.

Trump told the Washington Examiner in the Oval Office that he is suspicious of what he described as a sudden improvement in Biden’s debate performance during the Democratic primary earlier this year. Trump suggested that it was because of drugs, but he didn’t provide evidence for the claim.
